Blame is a fascinating human trait, because laying blame is establishing responsibility. To lay responsibility elsewhere (away from oneself), the “recipient” must be capable of accepting responsibility. This is all very logical but it makes nonsense of “I am late for work because of the traffic!” Traffic cannot accept responsibility for anything, so it cannot cover up your inability to leave for work earlier knowing the potential traffic conditions. Like wise blaming “the weather”, the “bus strike” etc., etc..

This is often referred to as “The Blame Game” and simply draws attention to a level of immaturity. We can accept it from a 5 year old (Mom …………. he did it!”), but from a supposed adult??????????
